Ligands: 132, NA NonStd Res: TYS Related: 1c5n Activity: Thrombin, with EC number 3.4.21.5 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, RCSB, PDBsum Disease [THRB_HUMAN] Defects in F2 are the cause of factor II deficiency (FA2D) [MIM:613679]. It is a very rare blood coagulation disorder characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding symptoms. The severity of the bleeding manifestations correlates with blood factor II levels. Genetic variations in F2 may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Defects in F2 are the cause of thrombophilia due to thrombin defect (THPH1) [MIM:188050]. It is a multifactorial disorder of hemostasis characterized by abnormal platelet aggregation in response to various agents and recurrent thrombi formation. Note=A common genetic variation in the 3-prime untranslated region of the prothrombin gene is associated with elevated plasma prothrombin levels and an increased risk of venous thrombosis. Defects in F2 are associated with susceptibility to pregnancy loss, recurrent, type 2 (RPRGL2) [MIM:614390]. A common complication of pregnancy, resulting in spontaneous abortion before the fetus has reached viability. The term includes all miscarriages from the time of conception until 24 weeks of gestation. Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as 3 or more consecutive spontaneous abortions. Function [THRB_HUMAN] Thrombin, which cleaves bonds after Arg and Lys, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates factors V, VII, VIII, XIII, and, in complex with thrombomodulin, protein C. Functions in blood homeostasis, inflammation and wound healing. [HIR2_HIRME] Hirudin is a potent thrombin-specific protease inhibitor. It forms a stable non-covalent complex with alpha-thrombin, thereby abolishing its ability to cleave fibrinogen. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed BACKGROUND: Involved or implicated in a wide spectrum of diseases, trypsin-like serine proteases comprise well studied drug targets and anti-targets that can be subdivided into two major classes. In one class there is a serine at position 190 at the S1 site, as in urokinase type plasminogen activator (urokinase or uPA) and factor VIIa, and in the other there is an alanine at 190, as in tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) and factor Xa. A hydrogen bond unique to Ser190 protease-arylamidine complexes between O gamma(Ser190) and the inhibitor amidine confers an intrinsic preference for such inhibitors toward Ser190 proteases over Ala190 counterparts. RESULTS: Based on the structural differences between the S1 sites of Ser190 and Ala190 protease-arylamidine complexes, we amplified the selectivity of amidine inhibitors toward uPA and against tPA, by factors as high as 220-fold, by incorporating a halo group ortho to the amidine of a lead inhibitor scaffold. Comparison of K(i) values of such halo-substituted and parent inhibitors toward a panel of Ser190 and Ala190 proteases demonstrates pronounced selectivity of the halo analogs for Ser190 proteases over Ala190 counterparts. Crystal structures of Ser190 proteases, uPA and trypsin, and of an Ala190 counterpart, thrombin, bound by a set of ortho (halo, amidino) aryl inhibitors and of non-halo parents reveal the structural basis of the exquisite selectivity and validate the design principle. CONCLUSIONS: Remarkable selectivity enhancements of exceptionally small inhibitors are achieved toward the uPA target over the highly similar tPA anti-target through a single atom substitution on an otherwise relatively non-selective scaffold. Overall selectivities for uPA over tPA as high as 980-fold at physiological pH were realized. The increase in selectivity results from the displacement of a single bound water molecule common to the S1 site of both the uPA target and the tPA anti-target because of the ensuing deficit in hydrogen bonding of the arylamidine inhibitor when bound in the Ala190 protease anti-target.
